How to simplify a constant to a root power?

How would one simplify $5^{\sqrt5}$? A constant raised to a radical. Please show steps. On a calculator I get $36.554$.. Thanks you. Trying to see how it would be done on paper not just a calculator.

Compute or use tables to find the logarithm $$x = \log_{10}5^{\sqrt{5}}$$ $$x = \sqrt{5} \log_{10}5$$ Then compute or use tables to take the inverse logarithm $$5^{\sqrt{5}} =10 ^x$$
